POV: Lachlan

They looked at each other across the doorway.

Close enough that the mate bond was almost unbearable. He could feel it trying to close the remaining space between them with the physical insistence of something that did not understand obstruction.

He suspected she felt it just as strongly; her jaw tightened with the effort of containing the pain without letting it show.

"Move," she said.

"Not yet."

"My children need to leave this room."

"Our children," he said. Not a correction. A

  • His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins    Three Days of Almost Normal

    POV: Imogen By the third morning, the guest wing had settled into a routine, and Imogen hated how quickly she had adapted to it.She woke at six to Declan arguing with the ceiling about whether it was too early for pancakes. She made tea in the little kitchenette, logged into the school portal at the sitting room desk, and taught her Year Three class through a laptop screen. Thirty small faces filled thirty boxes, while two sentries guarded the door, and Hayley sat at her feet with a nature book open on her knees.It was a strange kind of safety. The walls, wards, and armed wolves in the corridor offered protection, yet she still felt as though she were holding her breath.Lachlan had not returned to Melbourne.He took his calls in the Pack House library, pacing the length of the room with his phone to his ear while Kieran’s voice came through the speaker. Imogen had passed the door twice and heard him mention reallocating resources and refusing to make changes until he returned, all

  • His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins    What Was Under the Bed

    POV: Lachlan Rhys and Hamish arrived in nine minutes, which Lachlan would remember as the only thing that went to schedule all night.They searched the perimeter first, moving along the fence in the dark with the silent efficiency of wolves who had done this too many times. Lachlan stayed inside, at the doorway of the twins’ room, while Imogen packed two small bags beside him. She folded pyjamas, a blue jumper, and a stuffed rabbit with one ear chewed through, working with stiff concentration, as though she might fall apart if she stopped.“Anything he can’t sleep without?” Lachlan asked.“The rabbit. The moonlight.” She pointed. “Declan has a particular blanket. Hayley has the nature books.”“I’ll carry those.” She looked up at him, and for a moment he thought she might argue. Then she handed him the books.Hamish found it twenty minutes later.He knelt beside the far wall of the twins’ room, a torch clenched between his teeth and fine tweezers in his hand. He removed the torch from

  • His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins    Not Negotiable

    POV: Lachlan Lachlan had his phone out before Matilda finished speaking. Rhys answered on the second ring. “Alpha.”“Cottage. Fifteen minutes. Bring Hamish and the sweep kit.” His voice remained flat. “Full perimeter, then the interior. Nobody enters without my approval.”“Understood.” He ended the call and found Imogen watching him from across the twins’ bed. Over the past two days, he had learned to recognize that expression as a warning.“You didn’t ask me,” she said.“There wasn’t time.”“There’s always time to ask.” She stood, one hand resting on Declan’s blanket. “This is my house.”“Someone stood within half a mile of it tonight, planning your children’s deaths.” He kept his voice low. The twins were asleep, and his anger was more dangerous when he no longer raised his voice. “Your back door has a standard lock, and a six-year-old could climb the garden fence. You’re moving. Tonight.”“I don’t take orders from you.”“This isn’t about us.” His tone came out harder than he inten

  • His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins    Hands on Each Child

    POV: ImogenMatilda Brandt, built like a retired rugby player, had delivered half the pups in Silvercrest. She had no patience for fainting, fussing, or wasted time, which was why Imogen felt her shoulders relax the moment the older woman entered.“Out of my light,” Matilda said.They moved. She sat on the edge of the bed, placed one broad palm on Hayley’s forehead and the other on Declan’s, then closed her eyes. For a long moment, the only sound was the soft ticking of the nightlight.“Power overload,” she said at last. “Textbook, unfortunately.” She opened her eyes and fixed them on Lachlan. “You’re the father.”"Yes," said Lachlan.“Then you’ll do.” She delivered the words like a diagnosis. “These two are caught in a loop. Each feeds energy into the other, and neither can shut it off. I can dampen the surge for a few hours, but I can’t fix the problem. They need the steady Alpha presence of both parents at once. They need an anchor beyond each other.”“Both?” Imogen asked.“Both. O

  • His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins    Nothing Works

    POV: Imogen Imogen pressed her fingers against Hayley’s throat before she consciously decided to move.A pulse. Slow but steady. She checked Declan’s wrist and found the same rhythm, a second beat matching his sister’s, as though one heart had been divided between two small bodies.“They’re breathing,” she said. Her voice sounded unfamiliar. “They’re breathing. They’re breathing.”“I know.” Lachlan was already kneeling on the other side of the bed. “Let me check.”She nearly snapped at him. Every instinct urged her to keep her hands where they were, and her wolf had risen so quickly that the edges of the room seemed sharper, tinged with gold. But Lachlan didn’t grab the children or issue commands. He slid two fingers beneath Declan’s jaw, then turned Hayley’s face toward the nightlight and gently lifted one eyelid with his thumb.“Pupils equal,” he said quietly. “Skin’s cool, not clammy. No visible injuries.” He looked up at her. “Has this happened before?”“Never like this.”“Tell m

  • His Rejected Mate, Her Secret Twins    Almost

    POV: Lachlan The silence stretched until the moth struck the light again. “I’m not saying I believe you,” Imogen said at last.“I’m not asking you to.”“Good.” Imogen said“I’m asking you to let me find out what happened.”“And the children?” Her chin lifted. “Your rights as their father. Your standing. Your legal claim. How does any of that fit into finding out what happened?”“It doesn’t.” He surprised himself with the answer. “Those are separate matters. I won’t use one against you to get the other.”“You already tried that in the mediation room.”“I know.” Lachlan said“And you’ll do it again when it suits you.”“No.”“You can’t promise that.” Imogen said“I just did.” She stared at him. The bond stretched between them, taut as a wire. He felt it in his chest, his hands, and the base of his skull. She felt it too. Her shortened breaths and the faint flush along her collarbone gave her away. Her gaze dropped briefly to his mouth before snapping back to his eyes.He had not touched
